The way i would do it is by running full speed, four or five times a day i take five or six high intensity swings to simulate what the game action looked like. I make a lot of throws, even if i didnt have a partner. I may not be sharp when i got into the batters box but you Better Believe that im physically conditions for the activities.

Welcome back. Silicon valley rivals apple and google are working together on Smart Phone Technology to alert users if they came in contact with someone stricken with covid19. Public Health Officials use what is known as Contact Tracing, tracking down each and every person who is around someone who tested positive for the virus. In the coming months they hope to turn smart phones into Contact Tracing devices. If two people are within bluetooth range, their phones record an anonymous identifier code that is stored for 14 days and then if a person tests positive, Public Health departments could use an app that sends alerts to all phones that came in contact with that person. We want to make sure people are choosing to be a part, not a mandated system, but the people are informed. This is sensitive medical information, location, might be able to be inferred from that. To protect privacy, people do need to opt in for the system. Other countries have a similar concept but they use gps or cell phone tower tracking. You know what they say, necessity is the mother of invention and a San Francisco attorney took that to heart. Members at the south End Rowing Club heard local hospitals were in dire need of plastic face shields to protect them during the covid19 pandemic, but were wondering where to source all of that plastic. Attorney Steve Mcdonald got the idea of using old plastic covers from legal briefs. It proved to be the perfect fit. He, along with his fellow south enders have produced over 700 plastic face shields for cpnc and seton hospital in San Francisco. I came up with the idea, reaching out to the Legal Community to get deposition covers and report covers that we see all the time. Turns out, they make good shields. You can just, look at what you can do, finally, the Legal Community can provide some positive benefit for society. The local court reporters, and some National Court reporters donated thousands of these covers to us in response to a request. No, we can hear you. And, we figured out that we can make them using an open source plan that came out of the university of wisconsin. And, we cut off the top and cut them out into the shape. We want or we add some foam and away you go. Over 1000 have artie been given to cpnc and the seton hospital. Here in the bay area what kind of reaction did you get . It is been a remarkably positive reaction and they are extremely appreciative. They have sent us a couple of pictures to where they are wearing the face shield along with the other ppe. You know, that is what it is all about. It is very difficult to deal with all the negative news, but its so gratifying for everyone involved in our little organization. We all have siler road siloed for organizing this group of mcivers. That they are, they call themselves saving face. Big kudos go to the organizers silo in the city. Also they helped source plastic up in marin county. By the way, the team is still making and delivering the shield. A lot of good work going on out there. I love the innovation.
